I also thank the Commissioner for his response. In regard to the Garda youth diversion programme, the Commissioner's opening statement references 2,492 personal victims and 988 individual organisational victims, which amounts to 3,480 victims. This equates with the number of child offenders. It strikes me as strange that the number of personal and organisational victims equates with the number of offenders when the number of crimes involved is 7,894, unless recidivism is the case. As pointed out earlier by one of my colleagues, at the end of the page on which these data are provided, there is reference to an interim report and all figures being provisional but the next line states that all figures are correct as of 11 February 2019. It would appear that these are not accurate figures in respect of the impact on victims individual and organisational. Would the Commissioner like to comment on that observation?
